In particular, structural analogies became popular (e.g., Hilbert\u2019s building analogy) and contributed to the shaping of particular images of mathematics and regulating mathematical practice. This is a backdrop that heavily influenced Turing\u2019s and the later Wittgenstein\u2019s opposite views of mathematics, the former endorsing it, and the latter very originally departing from it.<br>Turing and Wittgenstein\u2019s disagreements during Wittgenstein\u2019s lectures in Cambridge have been previously discussed to understand their conflicting views. I will argue that their views can be further understood by analyzing the structural (dis)analogies they employ, in turn defending both Turing and Wittgenstein of some of their most famous criticisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bio<\/em><br>Jos\u00e9 Antonio P\u00e9rez-Escobar is assistant professor in the Department of Logic, History, and Philosophy of Science at UNED.
